The solar system
When the ancient people of Earth studied the night sky, they noticed that ve “stars” moved with respect to the others. They called them “planets,” from the Greek word for “wanderer,” and kept careful records of their motions.
Over the years, telescopes have revealed the existence of three other planets, too faint to have been seen by the ancients, bringing the total number to nine. Scientists now know that the planets are just one component of the Solar System. Besides the Sun and the planets, other signi cant components in the Solar System include the planets’ moons, asteroids, comets and other small icy bodies in the outer reaches of the Solar System. |
